what is john boehner's reputation in republican circles? is a question that has a lot of answers, but ever since the fiscal cliff in january, when there was a coup attempt on him on the house floor, he has controlled -- struggle to control his own conference. he is a popular figure on a personal level in the gop, but when you look at the farm bill, immigration, violence against women act, he has failed to shake strategy. i do not think his leadership will necessarily be challenged, there is not an alternative leader on the right that will immediately challenge him should he moved to the center on the debt limit or on the continuing resolution. at the same time, finding a way out of this impact is something that challenges him every day. rightnservatives on his have a skepticism of him, and i credit this skepticism of what he did in 2011, when he had closed-door talks with president obama, trying to sketch out a grand bargain. conservatives were wary about this process. ever since those talks a lot, he has not been able to win back the right
